@Asator, this is strange... Updated, thank you.

The sha256sum for the ovirt-guest-agent package from github is outdated, please update.

Found the fix for:

# tail /var/log/ovirt-guest-agent/ovirt-guest-agent.log
...
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/dev/virtio-ports/ovirt-guest-agent.0'

Thanks to, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1472293#c4

Fix is:

# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/55-ovirt-guest-agent.rules
SYMLINK=="virtio-ports/ovirt-guest-agent.0", OWNER="ovirtagent", GROUP="ovirtagent"

# udevadm trigger --subsystem-match="virtio-ports"

The package builds, but if running with $ makepkg -sic the install fails because two packages are created.

So I just installed one of the two packages.

$ sudo pacman -U ovirt-guest-agent-common-1.0.14-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

But then it fails to start. :(

Heading down the troubleshooting rabbit hole now.

usermode is a dependency. But it is not listed as one on, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ovirt-guest-agent/

yaourt -G ovirt-guest-agent

cd ovirt-guest-agent

makepkg

yaourt -U [your version of package]

Same problem here as @brando56894

Trying to install this gives the following error when trying to install the package

looking for conflicting packages... error: unresolvable package conflicts detected error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies) :: ovirt-guest-agent and ovirt-guest-agent-common are in conflict

I never installed ovirt-guest-agent-common, nor is it installed when I close out of this.

Hello, I think you should create issue to oVirt directly https://bugzilla.redhat.com/describecomponents.cgi?product=ovirt-guest-agent

Or may be suggestions how to fix it on PKGBUILD?

I'm getting error.
Host is oVirt 4.1.0 on CentOS 7.3, guest is Fresh Arch Linux.
